Sam the I Can Man Foundation, Amy and Sarah Weyrich- Ep. 179

We have an “I Can Too Spirit” show for Episode 179 of The Hidden Workforce!

We’re excited to welcome Sarah and Amy Weyrich the founders of Sam the I Can Man Foundation!

Sarah and Amy talk about the life of Sam, his legacy, and how his life inspired the development of their nonprofit foundation, Sam The I Can Man Foundation.

Sam lived with Aicardi–Goutières Syndrome (AGS) and despite what doctors said he couldn’t do- he proved them wrong and lived his life to the absolute fullest! From swimming with and petting dolphins and skiing to river rafting at the Grand Canyon- Sam fearlessly pursued the things he wanted to do with the amazing support of his family. Sam passed away last year which only fueled the momentum of his family starting the foundation- and they are excited to see the lives that are impacted and changed.

You can still apply to their first round of “I Can Too” grants! Head over to their social medias for the link to apply. Applications close tomorrow, May 31 at midnight.
